    * Fused Network is seeking linux sysadmins who love what they do

    Preface: I'd like to note that we've been posting this same cut-and-dry thread for the past few years, and since then have literally modified one string. Other than the 'roughly $number of clients' little has changed with our backend minus the addition of fifteen odd servers. We'd truly like to find an individual whom loves what they do -- whom lives, breathes and eats technology. We're a small start-up but we've got grand plans, schemes and would love to involve someone who truly cares.

    We're not out to find slaves, ticket monkies or people who will burn through years and not see the light of day. I want well-rounded, intelligent individuals who are beyond driven. Not by money, although it certainly helps with the sushi costs, but by launching new cool things while making a difference. We're playing with content delivery, xen, and lots of other interesting technologies that add spice. This isn't your generic beat-up-luser environment and every last one of our client matters to us. Our end goal isn't building some giant money-making scheme but to service every last client as though it's the last thing we'll do. Luckily enough, we've still gone from zero to hero in ~5-6 years and scaled from $30k per annum to just under a half million.

    We're growing, we're busy. Too busy to keep parsing resumes in fact.

    The contract offering is just a cover. A hunt, a quest. For people whom care and want to work for a company that has been charitable, caring and kick-ass since launch.

    If you're only just looking for a paycheque, this job isn't for you (Of course, we do pay well though). If you love what you do, love technology and want the freedom to steer clear of an office, you might just be a fuser.

    Who are you:
    1. Someone who loves linux, open source and what it stands for.
    2. Someone who lives, breathes and eats infosec / security on a daily basis. You're on all of the mailing lists, keep up with the news & are in the loop.
    3. You're someone who gets a rise out of that new kernel you compiled and how much more secure & faster it is.
    4. You like new technology. Xen? KVM? Virtual content delivery networks? They sound like fun!
    5. Someone who thinks tedious tasks are easily fixed with Puppet, CFEngine or something you've built in your spare time.
    6. Someone whose responsible, intelligent and mature enough to work on their own without someone breathing down their neck. We don't babysit, and you hate babysitters anyways.

    So, now back to the cut-and-dry list:

    Fused Network is a small web hosting firm based in Toronto with roughly ~2,000 clients. Launched originally in 2001, the company was acquired by it's current ownership in 2005 and has quickly grown to it's size today. We'd like to consider ourselves the underdogs of the industry with a passion for helping clients and an extreme love for new projects. We've scaled from a mere hundred clients to 2,000 in two years time and are growing rapidly.

    Linux. Linux. Linux. Linux.
    There are no windows machines on our network.

    We're hiring & that means we're after high quality, high energy individuals to join our growing team. You'll be part of a team that is ready to take the IT industry by storm (One client at a time!).

    We're looking for a system / network administrator. The primary responsibility of the representatives will be backend management, primarily utilizing CentOS based linux systems with a hint of xen. Our primary offering is shared web hosting, backup services and content / media delivery.

    Skills / Experience required:
    • 5+ years experience in a Linux server environment
    • Thorough experience with RHEL / CentOS based systems
    • Expert experience with LAMP.
    • Experience using / configuring / optimizing: cPanel/WHM, Apache (1.x / 2.x), PHP, PureFTPD & other daemons that are part of the web hosting recipe.
    • Cisco IOS switch&router gear configuration / vlan configuration
    • Some sort of shell scripting language -- whether it be perl, BASH, etc. Ability to automate tasks is KEY.

    Other programming languages considered assets, however intimate knowledge not required.

    Hours: 40 per week, preferably 40. 3-6 Month terms
    Location: Telecommuting. Whatever cafe, basement or beach you prefer.

    Our system administrators will be responsible for deployment, optimization & securing our existing server fleets. Some interaction with clients required although most will be limited to email and the odd phone call a few times a week.

    We're looking for the best of the best who want to work in a company that's expanding rapidly, we want people who would love to grow with us but most of all whom like to work, get involved and dig in.

    Please forward your resume, previous experience and a couple of recommendations and any other information you deem necessary to careers@fusednetwork.com

    As it's a contractor position, we don't choose / select someone's hours. Re: 1099 earnings, we're from Canada, don't even know what those are. Although we hope that anyone doing any work for us reports their own earnings to their appropriate tax authorities when necessary.
